I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for almost 20 years.
I am pleased to report that I’ve had great success with PEMF. I borrowed an A9 unit from a friend and did two 6-hour treatments at highest power setting. I noticed almost immediately an improvement, even after the first treatment. The second treatment I did the following day. My pain level dropped from a typical five to seven to about a one. What’s even more amazing is that my back did not hurt even after a hard physical day of work which would typically have me on the floor at an eight or nine level of pain doing about 20 minutes of stretching to relieve the tension and agony! I can truly and honestly say that it has made a vast and immediate improvement.
After 1 week almost pain free, I decided to purchase the C5 unit. I used four 2x2 coils and tied them into square pattern. I slid the units under my bed sheet placed right at my low back region. I use the Omni protocol on highest intensity that night for about 8 hours.
That was 3 days ago. What I have noticed since then is that it appears my sleep cycle has been disturbed. The night I used it I feel like I was breathing a little heavy, restless and struggled to stay asleep. I have also had issues maintaining deep sleep for the last two nights without using it. Almost like it interrupted my circadian rhythm?
My pain level is still very low, but I have also noticed that my lower back area in general actually feels a little more stable. Feels like the entire area is a little tighter and fuller. Maybe this is because there is more fluid exchange and neural activity due to the treatment? I’m not sure, it’s like the pumped feeling after working out. Can anyone shed some light on what’s going on physiologically?
